Steve, I really liked the pictures you posted. The last museum I visited was Smithsonian American Art Museum, and I don't remember any exhibits having modern designs like this baseball exhibit. I know that many museums deal with serious topics, so this typographic treatment probably wouldn't be appropriate, but I think the design really fits the subject matter in this case. I'm not a huge fan of baseball, but I would definitely take a look at the One for the Books exhibit because the design would immediately draw me in. The designer really made the information aesthetically pleasing.
I know this doesn't relate to a museum in any way, but it does have to do with modernizing the world of sports. I read an article a few days ago about iPads replacing paper playbooks in the NFL, and I thought you guys might be interested in it. The Buccaneers are the first team to do so, but I anticipate other teams will follow in Tampa Bay's footsteps in the next year or two. You can check out the article here.

Thanks for that article post Sarah - great article. And it makes so much sense! Plus it probably makes Apple pretty happy. Not only are they getting some publicity for a team's decision, but also, check this. If each iPad was 500 and there were 90 players to receive the iPad, that's $45,000. Whoa!
Ahhh! I HATE this idea! I can totally understand the benefits of it, and it makes perfect sense, but I love the paper books. I love the ridiculous drawings (stick people) and the handwritten notes. I imagine that the graphics will become much more advanced and our kids' kids won't recognized the Xs and Os in an old playbook.
